Netherland's Celesterre have returned with a new recording which shows the music going for an epic mixture of black, doom and heavy metal and this is a review of their self released 2025 album "Horror And Hope".
Spoken words start off the album along with some drum beats and psychedelic sounds a few seconds later which also takes the music into a heavier direction. Elements of doom metal are also added into the slower sections of the songs and the solos and leads bring in more of a melodic traditional metal style.
All of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them while the faster sections of the songs also add in black metal style tremolo picking and blast beats. Vocals are done in more of a clear singing style mixed in with a few shouts and the riffs also add in a decent amount of melody.
Throughout the recording you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with some female vocals also being utilized on a few tracks. One song also adds in a brief use of pig squeals as well as one track also intro0ducing clean playing onto the album, mellotron's can also be heard briefly and the music also has its atmospheric and progressive moments. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover the environment crises that is facing our planet.
In my opinion this is another great sounding album from Celesterre and if you are a fan of black, epic doom and heavy metal, you should check out this recording. TRCOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Man Divine" "As The Giant Falls" and "Hope". 8 out of 10.
